C, C++ and Fortran sources next to Zig | A C library compiled by Zig | A Zig module shared between packages | C-callable functions

What the package states | How users get Zig | GitHub and r-universe | CRAN | Continuous integration

Names, defaults and invisible results | Internal routines | Classes | What R sees | Build and use | Customized build files

Find the compiler | Create a package | Add a function | Scan, generate and check | Build and call | Test the Zig code | Try Zig from the R prompt | Next steps

Distributions | Linear algebra | Optimization and R functions as arguments | Integration | Build and run

A parallel loop | A reproducible reduction | Random numbers | The number of threads | Build and run

A package to update | What the update does | Customized build files are kept | A framework from another version | Recommended routine

Start from the behavior, not the wrapper | Scaffold the Zig-backed package | Inspect what R will see | Generate the bindings | Check the signature before compiling | Build and call | What changes in the port | Measure the boundary separately | Port incrementally
